Guys as you know I purchased the new Sony High Definition Camera and have now finally jagged it to capture the swing in super slow motion.

Would love some feedback.
I like the swing, too narrow on the stance, and the legs action is little loose. Since you are a tall person, I am sure you feel more comfortable with the narrow stance since it keeps the legs in check, but you will do better to widen it and put the upper part of the legs under some tension, this is especially important for taller players. Not saying to make the legs so tense they don't move, but at address and through the swing you should feel tension above the knees, this keeps you from swaying and loosing the spine angle.

The kind of tension I am talking about is that which a runner uses at the starting block, or a football players uses as he waits for the ball to snap. The kind that allows the legs to go into action immediately. All to often people keep hearing relax, be relax in the swing, yes that is true, but you can be too relaxed, the legs are the foundation, when the body, arm, hands and club start swing, you had better be ready with the lower body, and having tension in muscles above the knees provide that stability. Widen the stance and give that a try with the tension in the legs, it will also keep that right leg from straighting in the back swing.

The only other thing I see is the hands just a little close to the body, move the hands out some so they are more under the nose, then the chin, and out slightly beyond the toe line.
